Perhaps you should inform the park that they're a bunch of rasists and their decision to bring in police, metal detectors and bag searches is based on nothing more than prejudice. Or perhaps it's based in the fact they do actually deal with a disproportionately large number of incidents when...

But people rely on schools as a means of childcare. Schools closing unnecessarily means parents having to take the day off work, which in turn costs the economy a lot. Alton Towers making the call based on forecasts conclusive and just hours ahead isn't quite on the same page IMO. As I said, I...

Got to say, I'm quite annoyed. Not that the park is closed, that was inevitable and what I had set myself up for, I understand why they have to and I agree that they should. But I was on a group trip today, pre-paid. So we had to wait for official confirmation it was cancelled or risk the trip...

I'm uncomfortable with the idea that I'm somehow unfairly tarring a race by calling out the occasionally irresponsible and innapropriate behaviour of Travellers. It's not an issue of Travellers as a race, it's an issue of culture. Travellers have a culture somewhat separated from that of the...

Re: The London 2012 Olympics Discussion The brilliant thing is that not one of our venues will go to waste. Olympic Stadium- due to be sold. Can be converted for use as a 25,000 to 80,000 seated stadium affordably. Will almost certainly go to West Ham, and the running track will remain for...

Re: The London 2012 Olympics Discussion Hardly a farce when the housing (both already constructed in the form of the atheletes village and homes to be constructed following the games) is set to vary significantly in size and cost. Regeneration relies on wealthier people moving in. Money and...

Re: The London 2012 Olympics Discussion That just simply isn't true. Unlike the billions wasted in Beijing and the absence of legacy in Athens, legacy has been our focus. Whilst there are massive costs involved in hosting the event itself, the majority of the budget has gone on regeneration...

Re: The London 2012 Olympics Discussion I'm massively excited for the Olympics and think we're going to do an outstanding job of it. The British press has been trying to stomp on the Olympics since the day we knew we'd be hosting. They've slated everything. Unfortunately for...

The reason this will fail is the same reason that shows like Skins US and Shameless US failed. Everything about why it's funny and why it works is because it's so true to it's audience. The Inbetweeners was funny because we've all been there, or at least know people who have; it was very...

I think it NEEDS to happen, we can't afford not to go ahead with it. The people who moan about the cost or inpact of these projects and insist against both Boris Island and Heathrow expansion are the same people who moan about this country becoming the arse-end of the world. It's the same...

Re: Welcome Hello everyone! I was Jeymz on the other side, not that you would know, since I posted about 4 times in the last 3 years. That said though, I've been a member on TT since 2005 (and I truly, truly apologise for my 11 year-old-self's posts, I really do). I can see why what's happened...
